Announcemen of he dvdend amoun 2. All holders of he shares a he ex-dvdend dae are enled o receve he dvdend 3. vdend s pad a paymen dae and seled a selemen dae 4

5 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends Bascs In a classc frconless mare, he paymen of a dvdend has o be neural o he holder of he share: he prce of he share jus before he dvdend has o be equal o he prce jus afer he dvdend plus he dscouned dvdend paymen. oherwse ener he respecve arbrage poson. If he ex-dvdend dae s, he selemen dae s s and he (random) dvdend s, hs means (*) F(, s) We denoe by - he lef hand lm of n. vdend should be - measurable and posve. 5

6 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends Bascs Can we observe hs drop n soc prce n pracce? No: vdends go ex overngh whle here s no radng. The volaly n he openng aucon obscures he acual mpac of he dvdend paymen. Economerc conclusons vary Maxmzaon of ax (.e., dvdend ax vs. capal gans). Capurng of dvdends However, we can rade dvdends usng vdend waps Forwards Equy waps 6

7 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends Assumpons on vdends We assume ha he ex-dv daes < < 2 <... are nown and ha we can rade each dvdend n he mare. We also assume ha he dvdends are already adjused of ax and any dscounng o selemen dae,.e. we can loo a he dvdend amoun a he ex-dv dae. The h dvdend s - measureable. Oher Assumpons We have nsananeous deermnsc neres raes r. The equy earns a deermnsc connuous repo-rae m. We assume > ( s sragh forward o ncorporae smple cred rs *,2+ bu we ll sp ha here ) 7

8 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends oc Prce ynamcs In he absence of frcon cos, he soc prce under rs-neural dynamcs has o fall by he dvdend amoun,.e. In beween dvdend daes, he rs-neural drf under any rsneural measure s gven by raes and repo,.e. we can wre he soc prce beween dvdend daes for : < + as Z ( ) m ds where Z () s a non-negave (local) marngale whch sars n a. : e r s s T : T s he equy growh facor (also called fundng facor ) 8

9 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends oc Prce ynamcs - Warnng Ths gves Z ( ) Growh rae beween dvdends (Local) marngale par beween dvdends However, specfyng a soc prce dynamc n hs form va Z, does no guaranee ha he soc prce remans posve a he nex dvdend dae: he marngale Z can no have arbrary dynamcs bu needs o be floored o ensure ha he soc prce never falls below any fuure dvdend amoun. 9

10 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends oc Prce ynamcs - Warnng In oher words, any generc specfcaon of he form dz d r m d ( d) Z does no genercally wor. ee exensve leraure on affne dvdends (specal case cash dvdends) Common fx s o floor he dvdends,.e. ~ : mn{ κ )

11 Q U A N T I T A T I V E E E A C H vdends Towards oc Prce ynamcs wh scree vdends Inuvely, he resrcon s ha he soc prce a any me needs o be above he dscouned value of all fuure dvdends: oherwse, go long soc and forward-sell all dvdends loc-n rs-free reurn. efne herefore he dscouned dvdends as : Ε
